Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Oooh, thanks for all the recs!!!
beyond this...what kinds of things do you need or are into? I have a lot of apps.
Games are great, and the nutrition and weather recs will definitely come in handy, as will the iBattery one.
I bought the iPod because my old cheapo mp3 player just frustrated me (I didn't like the way it organized my music), and I wanted wifi access (tommyrot used his gizmo to get us the address for the Goodman two weeks ago, and I thought, "I gotta get me one of those!"). The apps were just a big plus I didn't consider until later in the decision-making process.
I'm going to be reading through the online manual this afternoon to see what all I can do with the thing.
if you travel: tripit is an excellent app. I use their service (free). And I have an app that shows all the airport maps.
So, for MP4: "Final Media Player" "Free File Opener". There is also Real Player, but I consider Real Player more of a virus.
Other options? (I'm on Windows XP home patched up through all current patches)
I agree, Quick Time would be my choice.
Thirded. Although I'm not sure I consider RealPlayer a virus so much as a biblical plague.
Dust off and nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
Um, so I came home to Devi sitting on my ipod. It now reads Accessorize Test Please plug fw LCD ID: 4
FWPWR:0
HALP?
OK, nevermind, I FINALLY managed to reboot it (I'd not been patient enough.) How the FUCK did she do that?
First five minutes of House of Dark Shadows watched. I know what I've watching next time I travel by plane or train. Thanks!
